Alaska is like way north of the Wall. Craster's Keep, say. And Canada is like the Gift; mostly empty, with everyone living in the south of it if at all. And America, well, America is that big country with the giant army which is constantly coming apart at the seams from internecine civil conflict.   HERITAGE, NOT HATE

We've been over this. Dorne is Mexico because GRRM is lazy and a bad writer and wanted Antonio Banderas from Desperado to fight Gregor and then he filled in the rest with "oh yeah and there's lots of spicy peppers and everyone has mucha pasión". The Dorne chapters are pretty much a telenovela.

Agreed! I have to wonder how they're going to do Dorne. So long as they get Princess Bride dude for Oberyn we'll be alright.

Remember the Apollo program? We can't do that sort of thing currently and by the time this happens we won't have VHS technology either. Maybe they can get a movie redux a la Dark Shadows. Depp can be Littlefinger, Carter can be Cersei.

You usually have good tv show recommendations so I'll take a look at it, but goddamn the magic of the Military-Industrial Complex drama dies when you actually work for it and realize how loving boring it is which is why I didn't want to watch it when another friend of mine recommended it. By the way, that's why I've been GRRM-bitching less lately. I have a new job working for the EXACT people whose morals I abhor the absolute most!

It isn't a masturbatory fantasy about the military. It is a very, very good look at the psychological aspects of terrorism and counterterrorism. Claire Danes gives what I honestly think is the best performance I have ever seen in my entire life. If you have ever known anyone with a mental illness, it will absolutely floor you. She pulls it off in such a scarey accurate way.

Oh yeah, I'm an idiot, sorry. Naw, she just the Tickler tickled off a battlement and Amory Lorch drop dead in front of Tywin. There were a few guards killed to let the kiddies out of Harrenhal, but I figured there would have been a touching reunion scene between Arya and Needle if one had been Polliver. We'll probably see him again soon enough.
